It goes behind the chain rings and mounts either on the bottom bracket (you have to remove the bottom bracket and install it substitutng one spacer with the chainguide) or it mounts on the ISCG tabs of your frame with three screws. Check your frame to see if it has ISCG tabs and what ISCG type they are and if you don't have any you need a BB mount version. I have included a picture of the chainguide mounted to ISCG tabs for reference.

This bike has a 9-speed drivetrain and due to the Three chainrings on the crankset; a chain with around 114Links would be ideal.

Removal of a few links may be required to fine tune the drivetrain and Quick Links could also be an option to make breaking and re-connecting the chain easier in the future once the correct sizing has been setup.

on your front derailier there will be 2 bolts, one marked L and the other H. these are stopper bolts. if you tighten the bolt with L next to it, it will prevent your derailler from moving past the small ring, and onto the bottom bracket. this works the same with the H bolt, it will stop it moving past the big ring. you also need to try and make sure the derailleur hasnt been prevented from getting to these rings, if you over tighten them, so try to get the right balance. it can also help if you try to use your middle ring on the front. hope this helps :)

The only chainguide we currently stock compatible with a 44t outer ring is the MRP XCG (linked below).SRAM announced that the XX1 system negated the need for a chainguide, although MRP have created a few options, including the G3 and Micro. We don't currently stock these, but keep an eye on the site for future updates.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/...

I hoping is any of these back plates are similar. I have a XO and as reviews show it broke. So now I am trying to find parts for it which is almost impossible. So maybe I can just get G3 or G2 components. Anyone think it will fit on a XO backplate?

Answers

If you are using a double chainset model then the stinger will possibly be the best suited for a dual chainring set up. This will help guide the chain on the bottom path and the bikes front derailleur will help route the top path. As to which size fits, you will need to check your frames BB fitting (need ISCG OLD, ISCG 05, BB Mount etc).
